Hello,
My doubt is that is this ITC availment conflicting with the Schedule 1 of CGST Act ?
If the bus services are provided to Employees free of cost or say nominal amount (not market value) and no GST is charged, which is treated as gift/perquisite to the employees then the ITC on hire of such bus services can be availed ?
